Made some Chocolate Covered Bacon Jerky

About 30 pounds Kurobota Pork Belly, cured and dried for a week, cold smoked for a day and Dried for another week

I must have not fully dried and put it on magnetic holder , very light what looked to be rust in the pattern of the holder, I thought “ just use scotch bright pad” boom , scratches …. Just a small section… will a high grit stone get this out or wasting my time ? Thanks in advance

Little over a week cure, another week of drying and a day of cold smoke , thanks for looking Kurobota Bacon at its finest

Never can find where she is laying the eggs, but this is three this week ( puppy kindly brought the other two in the house ) it’s safely by itself in the bog

Went to flush the bog filter ( old cast iron claw foot bathtub ) snapped the nipple right off the bat, I would have to dig out and separate rock and gravel to remove the distribution manifold in the bottom, not in the mood for that, 2” test plug to the rescue! This will buy me time, could probably just leave it but I won’t , up and running in under an hour including trip to the hardware store

After the loss of Bobette , then comes Roscoe …

Plenty of optional basking areas for everyone yet they still congregate
